The problem is, bullying is a trait of human nature
Capture of the pirate Blackbeard
The problem is, bullying is a trait of human nature which was learned by people, probably way back, to snatch booty and to control and dominate others.
The only ways to stop bullying are:
1. To ignore it if this makes it go away. If that fails then:
2. To hit back by whatever means needed. Hit it where it hurts.
If you watch any film or programme with bullying content, the means needed to stop bullying is always to stand up to the bully. Not reacting can work in some situations but the context here is important. You need to be able to afford to ignore the bully.
Afford to ignore
It is impossible or at least very difficult to ignore someone who is pummeling your face into the ground or breaking your limbs. It is just as difficult to ignore someone tugging your lunch out of your hands when you are hungry.
In the instance of role power bullying by anyone in a position of authority over you, it is just as difficult to ignore them as, in the case of bullying, the attack against you will escalate before it stops. The escalation might cost you too much to survive it. A bully who has any power over you can leave you with:
- A loss of physical health
- A loss of income
- A loss of assets
- A loss of support when they scare off your allies
- No sign of any way out or defence
- Even a loss of life
In short: a bully will want and try to take from you as much as they can and whatever they think they can get away with. They will know no bounds and their methods will known no limits.

The Roles of Extremism and Politically Motivated Activism in Manipulation and Propaganda
The broad, routine use of “TERF” as a slur against ordinary women (not just known radical feminists) — mothers, school parents, female athletes, teachers, and safeguarding campaigners — for simply discussing safeguarding in schools or questioning risks/threats in women’s contact sports (including boxing) did begin to surge around 2018–2019 and became dominant by 2020.Pre-2018 ContextBefore […]
Wayback Machine Digital Access made so difficult
During COVID i spent some time on Wayback Machine to access links in an article by Shibo from 2005 about SARS vaccine research. The article was open, honest and transparent and shared links to NIAID, WHO, CDC and MMWR, which openly reported virus outbreaks, other events and biosafety events. In 2020, when I first found […]
Why Divide and Conquer is All About Politics
I keep writing boring poems about politics. I am processing, trying to get my head around a beast of an idea. I remember being at sixth form college in 1987 and there was a debating society, which tackled the thorny issue of fox hunting, a popular activity in Surrey at that time. Today, it would […]
How and why clear inclusive communication is possible and easy to do
The following story illustrates how a visual or creative person might understand a new rule compared to someone who has adapted to learn by rote. Today we are told what to do, but we are not told why. Reasoning has now gone and if you do it you will not be catered for. On any […]
Government Overreach taking us back to medieval times
Could you help advise me about the new waste collections? I am a visual thinker and learn and have already had to change the routine I’ve had for 11 years. I bought a private wheelie bin from Penryn Plastics, which my neighbours have shared as I fill about one 50L bag a week and everything […]
